New integrations

The comsat-shiro module contributed by @roded (thanks!) through #53 allows custom implementations of Shiro Realms to perform fiber-blocking calls when invoked by fibers (see the docs for details).

Improvements

• Many dependencies have been upgraded both in the Java and Clojure modules.
• Other minor improvements, some from the community (like @andreiursan's 57cff66, thanks!)

Closed issues

• #44
• #50
• #54
• comsat-actors-undertow and comsat-actors-netty support for concurrent requests within the same session has been made safer and more configurable.

New integration modules

comsat-kafka provides a Kafka Producer with an asynchronous send method that will return a Quasar SettableFuture. A SettableFuture can block fibers in addition to threads. Contributed by Tim Brooks. Thanks!

Improvements

• comsat-actors-undertow, comsat-actors-netty and comsat-servlet have been performance-optimized and allow more tuning (see the docs for more details).
• Many dependencies have been upgraded both in the Java and Clojure modules.

Breaking changes

The WebHandler.Context interfaces in comsat-actors-undertow and comsat-actors-netty have changed to allow greater control and optimization.
They are used only when selecting request-serving web actor instances manually with the Undertow and Netty backends (rather than by scanning the classpath for @WebActor annotations).
See the docs for more details.

Closed issues

• #49
• #51
• Fixed HTTP Web Actors watch in Web Actors backends and other minor fixes
• Docs glitches

New integration modules:

• comsat-actors-undertow – Deploy HTTP, SSE and WebSocket Web Actors as Undertow handlers
• comsat-actors-netty – Enables deploying HTTP, SSE and WebSocket Web Actors as Netty handlers.

Benchmarks

• #23

Closed issues

• #36
• #38
• Fix redirect handling for Tomcat servlet actors

New integration modules:

• comsat-okhttp – OkHttp 2.4 HTTP/SPDY client integration.
• comsat-httpkit – HTTP Kit client integration (the http-kit client API is a subset of clj-http); thanks to Nir Rubinstein for his preliminary investigation and work on this one

Breaking changes:

• The FiberDBI(IDBI jdbi, ExecutorService es) constructor has been removed because JDBI is now a fully transparent integration on top of JDBC's and doesn't need an executor on its own: executors passed to other constructors will be used for the underlying JDBC integration

Improvements:

• comsat-dropwizard upgraded to the recently released Dropwizard 0.8.1.
• comsat-spring-boot and the new comsat-spring-boot-security module introduce convenient configuration annotations, resp.FiberSpringBootApplication and FiberSecureSpringBootApplication.
• comsat-spring upgraded to Spring Boot 1.2.4, Spring Framework 4.1.6 and Spring Security 4.0.1 (and more tests ported).
• comsat-jooq has been improved and updated to jOOQ 3.6.2
• comsat-jdbi has been improved and updated to JDBI 2.62
• comsat-jdbc is now completely wrapped and fiber-blocking (see #27 below)
• comsat-actors-servlet now includes an HTTP/SSE/WebSocket test with Undertow as well
• Quasar and several other dependencies upgraded

Closed issues:

• #26
• #27
• #28
• #29
• Fixed an issue in comsat-spring that prevented controlled methods annotated to be suspendable, but not actually instrumented, from being still executed inside fibers.

New integration modules:

• comsat-spring-webmvc – Spring Framework Web MVC fiber-blocking controller methods integration.
• comsat-spring-boot – Spring Boot auto-configuration support for Web MVC controllers.
• comsat-spring-security – Spring Security configuration support for fibers.
• comsat-ring-jetty9 – Clojure Ring fiber-blocking adapter based on Jetty 9.

Breaking changes:

• comsat-servlet is now fully aligned to the standard Servlet API and allows using @WebServlet annotations. To port code to the new version, remove throws SuspendExecution from fiber-blocking servlets and replace it with a @Suspendable annotation. Method bodies that throw SuspendExecution will compile after wrapping them with:

try {
   // ... method body
} catch(SuspendExecution e) {
   throw new AssertionError(); // shouldn't happen
}

Improvements:

• comsat-loader-tomcat and comsat-loader-tomcat-jdk8 now work in standalone server mode too (verified with Tomcat 7.0.56 and 8.0.15).
• comsat-servlet now dispatches exceptions back to a servlet container's thread where they are re-thrown, so they can be handled correctly and reach the client.
• Several dependencies upgraded.

New integration modules:

• comsat-dropwizard – Dropwizard integration including Jersey, ApacheHttpClient and JDBI.
• comsat-retrofit – Retrofit integration.
• comsat-jdbi – JDBI integration for using the JDBI API in fibers.
• comsat-jdbc – JDBC integration for using the JDBC API in fibers.
• comsat-jooq – jOOQ integration for using the jOOQ API in fibers.
• comsat-mongodb-allanbank – MongoDB integration for using the allanbank API -- contributed by Fabio Tudone

Comsat 0.1.1

This minor release integrates Quasar 0.5.0, which adds JDK 8 support.
